Check out this little combo from the Cotton-Arbo retum in Winchester, Massachusetts, in which a gorgeous chunk of pink quartz is framed by a beautiful stand of ‘Chequers’ deadnettle (Lamium maculatum ‘Chequers’, USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8). Dreamy!

    While this is an interesting use of a lovely ornamental rock, the true gem is their garden. Take the time to click on the underlined link Michelle has provided. It's a love story to a beautiful garden.

    Oh, to win the lottery and be able to travel around the world just looking at lovely gardens... Magic can happen this time of year! I'm ever hopeful.
